Anyone install just Dinan res delete?

Curious to know what people think of installing the Dinan res delete with a FB sport cat and stock exhaust? Pros and cons? Thanks.

I had that setup on my car for 2 years. It's awesome.

Seriously, it is the perfect mix between deep throaty sound and turbo noise without being obnoxious. Although, cold start is still absurd and will make your neighbors hostile.

Thanks guys. I ordered it and will try it out. I have BM3 and already coded out cold start so no worries there.

I'm not sure if I even want to sell it now that I think about it. I'm trying to keep all my stock parts in the event that I need to return my M2 to stock to sell it later down the road.

I went with the M performance exhaust / fabspeed sport cat & Dinan intake.

Installed today. A little incremental sound but nothing crazy. Burbles are a bit louder. I like it overall but not dramatic or anything. Is it worth it? Maybe.

Add dp and I think you'll like the results. Adding exhaust will be on personal preference as it can get very loud.

Cut and clamp.

Considering that a resonator is designed to combat drone (resonance) and not volume I'm not surprised. I could never see the benefit of a resonator delete but some seem to like it.

I had the downpipe already. My local shop installed the res delete and I had them cut out the res on the stock pipe so I still have it just in case. 2 cuts and 2 clamps. Looked easy and took less than an hour. I might add the axle back Dinan later to round it out. I don't really notice any more drone than before and didn't have much as is. I'm not sure it made a big difference but I'm good with it.
